Well after 3 weekends of progress I was brought to a halt for 10 days by a virus that refused to let me do anything but run fever and cough... On a good note I have received all my shelving and also the vent-a-hood and fans. I wont be able to work on it this weekend except maybe sunday afternoon because of previous commitments. I need to bust me ass for the next week and weekend as I have an HD inspection on the 29th of the month.. Other than install the vent and the window which wont be here till the 25th everything else just goes against the wall and needs attached...

looking good. that is what i want to do on my build. i have a box on the side with doors to put the generator in. but iwant to be able to slide it and out of the box for maintainance. can't wait to see how you do it. handy i am not. i did some looking on line. no luck so far. so i want to thank you in advance for that.

I hate loud generators and refuse to use them, I will use 2 honda eu3000 generators(since I already own 2) and can parrallel them to make a quiet 6000 with 50 amp service. most of our days we will setup in the local food parks and wont need the generator since they have power. I have a spot picked out on the truck if I come across a 6000 onan for cheap but right now I will got with the 2 hondas..

Got to work on the truck some yesterday, The vent-a -hood wasn't very cooperative but got it up. I will have to make a few pieces different to hold the filters since i changed and went with the fans through the side wall.. The stainless on the hood is a lot tougher then the wall stainless which I was able to cut with a skill saw. The hood on the other hand had to get the air cut off wheel and took a while.. The walls a little thicker than the fan vents so I will have to bend some aluminum and trim out the outside.. Also stud placement of the wall made it so the vents couldn't be centered..

not sure about how much air they move, They are the same fan Reese77 put in his truck, Picked up 4 filters today at Rest. depot now just have to build the lips to hold them ,hopefully start on that tomorrow night..

Filters mounted to the ventahood, next time I will buy the hood ready to go..Going to hookup the fans tomorrow and trim out the top edge and hopefully it will be ready to exhaust air... Will replace the screws with pop rivets.

Reese77--There are 3- 29" long 2" square tubing attached to the roof of the truck into the joist and then I attached the hood to the tubing, also screwed to the back wall many times and the time is .063 Alum which is riveted to the hood and then screed through the ceiling. Very sturdy and no movement whatsoever..

Got a Full day of work done today, Got the electrical completed. grey water tank installed and plumbed water tank installed- Plumber coming tuesday to complete pluming line from/to tank completed the trim on interior and caulked edges. installed propane regulator and plumbed the equipment except fryer installed drying rack over sink

Well the Service window from Challenger Door has not arrived and I cannot find out when I will get it. I've called and left messages, emailed, called talked to the recptionist and asked if she could get me a del. date so I've had to cancel my HD appointment I had for this week..

Got the equipment installed except the refrigerator that the door opens the wrong way.. New one should be here next week withe a lfet hand side swing frig. all the gas lines checked with no leaks. Changed all the orfices on the flattop and burner for lp.. Installed the service window and trimmed out,. Interior of truck is complete except for the water leak which the plumber didnt make it yesterday or today to fix it..

You do fast and great looking work. I like the cover for the fryer. Good job. What are the dimensions on your window it looks like it might be an 8 footer, and ball park what you spent with Challenger without shipping and what the shipping ran if I'm not being to nosy.

3'x6' window.. $1120.00 to the door... door was $9 some thing hundred..$150.00 shipping , $40.00 crating.. took 6 weeks to get with the Chrtistmas 2 week shut down... Today, I fixed the water leak myself, ended up a problem with the fitting that hold the faucet in and I had another set of a different brand so Plumings done now.. Everything is done excent cleaning it good for the tuesday inspection and an overflow tube I forgot on the water tank.. Today I built the generator mount, just have to put so hooks on it to strap generator down with..Installed a quick disconnect plug on the back of the truck Added a couple shelves inside and then trimmed out the exhaust fans and put built a cover to help keep water out..
